Fast-paced and fun February 20, 2010
John R. Prince (Fort Worth, TX United States)
First, I am relieved I am not the only one who had issues getting to the battery compartment. As a father of two children, I've inserted batteries into every toy imaginable---but this was ridiculous. I have pretty much every type/size screw driver available. Because I could not see the head of the screw, I checked the instructions and all it had was a picture of a Philips head, so of course I used a standard #2 Philips. Within seconds I stripped the head of the screw. A note in the instructions stating that precision screw driver was required would have been helpful. This is a MAJOR flaw of the toy.
I was eventually able to get it off, and I'm glad I did as the toy is a lot of fun. I was skeptical as to how well the system would read the hand pads, but it is incredibly sensitive and captures/records players catches with ease. This game is much like Hyperslide meets Hot Potato. While we've only played it a few times, the entire family has thoroughly enjoyed the game. However, I not looking forward to having to replace the batteries on this.

We got this for our 6 year old nephew for Christmas and he really got into it. I think the adults enjoyed it as much as he did. "quick pass" and "youre out" were definite favorites of the games it does. You need to put the colored plastic part on the inside of your hand to make sure the ball registers your color when you catch it, on the wrist is not good enough.
 Fun toy, but prone to breaking December 28, 2009

Got this toy for my kids (age 10) for the holidays. Went out to play with it, they had a good time while it worked, but after about 5 minutes, it kept shutting off whenever it was thrown. Returning it for a refund.
 Could not get it to shut up! November 27, 2009
Wendy (Missouri)
I purchased this for twin brothers who are friends of my son. I thought they could play with it together. However, after reading the instructions thoroughly over and over, the ball never stopped prompting us "do you want to play again?" I had to pull the batteries lose to get it to be quiet. I exchanged it thinking it was a fluke and didn't test the replacement. The boys mom told me later that the second one never shut up either. I'm not entirely a dope when it comes to electronics, so either the instructions need to be a whole lot clearer or the quality control is poor.

Just purchased this for my 7 year old. It worked for about five minutes and never worked again. Like the other reviewers said - the concept is great, but too bad it is a piece of junk and doesn't work. Don't waste your money.
